  Haha! I wish I knew…I’m sure I’ve had some epic thoughts in the past but have nothing to show for it! If you find the answer, please let me know 🙂

  I don’t think anybody knows the answer to this one! Maybe we need to work out where the thought comes from in the first place?!

  where it came from ? 🙂
  
  I would think it’s more of a physical thing and your cells transmitting signals stop firing somewhere in between the start and the end process.
  
  Maybe a cell in our brain gets distracted by another cell or its too lazy to pass on the signal (thought); something like students in a class. Some are distracted easily and some are lazy :). I would compare it to passing a message from one end of the classroom to the other! If a student somewhere in the middle gets distracted and doesn’t pass on the message the message will get lost same thing if there is a lazy one in between 🙂

  Where ever it fell out of my head. Mostly on my way to work.
